Very nice looking jacket.
I like the zip out lining and pleated back.
I'm curious how much do you have invested in the jacket. time (labor) & materials ?
Enjoy it.....

Thanx! I didn't make it myself; I paid $300 out the door and it took 2wks to make. I'm sure it would take less for the next guy, since I gave him the drawings of what I wanted to look like and he had to make the program for the embroidery. Now that he's got it, it shouldn't take that long for him to make more. I'm pleased with it!

That's one of the advantages of being stationed in Korea...you can give them a picture of any suite/jacket and they can replicate it to the Tee...jacket looks great!!

Thanx, I appreciate the comments and glad that other vette lovers like it too. They did do a great job replicating it!

Looks Nice!

I'd like to get a custom jacket made.
Do you mind sharing the contact information?
Website link, phone number, company name?
Do you know if they take orders from out of the country?
Thanks.

Be careful,
Korean cow leather don't last as long as American cow leather.
Just ask lots of people on here.

It would last me a lifetime as I'd only wear it once in awhile.
Personally I don't know of anyone who has ever worn out a corvette
jacket.

That jacket is sweet. $300 is a bit steep in Korea. Did you shop around any?
I'm sure the leather is fine and will last as long as you can fit in it.

For all that question quality and didn't know, ALL Harley Davidson apparel is made in China.

Just a little dry humor on my part!

No problem, I would get that for you. If you'd like, I could also be the link for you, since I'm still in Korea until 2012! The jacket is top notch quality and the craftsmanship is superb. I'm sure that as long as the design isn't much different, as he already has the designs due to my jacket, it would probably be priced somewhat better than mine. I'll go see him this wknd.
